SEJONG (Yonhap) -- South Korea again failed to join an international organization for railroad cooperation, a prerequisite for building a trans-Asian railway, due to opposition from North Korea, the Seoul government said on June 4.

It was the second time Seoul sought to join the Organization for Cooperation between Railways (OSJD) since 2003 when the country's first attempt was again thwarted by Pyongyang's opposition, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
